James A. Marinelli

Jim,
I still think about you often. It has been 4 years since you are gone and it still feels like yesterday. Your death was a definite shock since you were doing so well. Jim when my my mother died ( your Aunt Edith ) I will never ever forget your hugs and love cousin. I pray for you and ask you for prayers. Tell everyone in heaven I said hello especially Nick.
You will never be forgotten Jimmy. Love Jeannie

Marinelli Cousins,
Tonight I am really missing Jimmy. Of course, you are too. Then I thought no more cholestrol meds, thyroid meds, antacid pills, no allergies, no more deadlines at work, no headaches or sunburn ....WOW
Jimmy can have a fat juicy steak, lots of butter on his potatoes and corn. The richest desert with ice cream and all the toppings and never get a stomach ache. He can ride now the most beautiful and fastest horse without getting tired and have plenty of furry pets...

To The Marinelli Family ~

I'm so sorry that I can't be there for Jimmy's “Celebration of Life,” but I will definitely be there in spirit.

I'm really glad my family and I got to see Jimmy when he came to Houston on a business trip. That's right, I called him Jimmy, not Jim! No matter what age, he has always been "Cousin Jimmy" to me. We had a great time together, and even though it was only for a weekend, there was plenty of reminiscing. We were actually laughing out loud...

Dear Marinelli family, I met Jim while working at Black & Decker back over 20 years ago and became friends. Jim was always generous with his time and his smile. I enjoyed many outings on his boat, riding mountain bikes or just catching a lunch together since then. Jim was always the detail oriented engineer in everything he undertook - thorough and accurate in his analysis and execution! He always enjoyed a pet for a compannion in his home and loved his beagle Daisy and then his shnauzer...

To Mike and Frank..You were fortunate to be able to call Jim your brother. I was fortunate to be able to call him my friend

Dear Marinelli family and friends,
Jim was a one of a kind guy. I pray for you and I am so sorry for your loss. We all will remember the wonderful and joyful times we spent with Jim. He was a great friend and such a kind spirit. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Marinelli Family, our deepest sympathies. We have far too many fond memories of Jim to share here, but count us among the Days End volunteers mourning the passing of an incredibly generous, enthusiastic gentle man. We hope to get to meet many of you on the 9th.

To all of Jim's family, you have my deepest sympathy. Jim and I have been friends for over 10 years, and I still can't believe he's gone. He was like the brother I never had...frequently teasing me, but always supporting me too. He had the biggest heart and was so full of enthusiasm for life. Jim was a wonderful friend and I will miss him every day. I hope that he is riding horses in heaven (fast, and over fences!) right now. That thought helps ease some of the pain of losing him. I wish you...

Take each step one day at a time, and time will take care of the rest, with sympathy. Isaiah 49:13
